NAB Addresses AML Regulations With Hawk

Executive Summary

Comprehensive Compliance in Just 4 Months

North American Bancard (NAB), a leading payments technology company, provides end-to-end infrastructure that allows clients to offer a range of globally preferred payment types. NAB’s diversified platform accommodates mobile, online, and in-store environments and processes over $45 billion worth of electronic payments annually through credit, debit, and pre-paid cards, as well as ACH payments.

Serving hundreds of thousands of clients across the merchant economy, NAB has grown rapidly through both organic initiatives and M&A, having completed 10 acquisitions over the past 10 years. To facilitate growth and address strict transaction-monitoring requirements related to AML regulations, NAB required a cloud-native solution to support several existing payment systems and data sources, as well as entry into new industry verticals.

Through Hawk’s centralized money-laundering detection platform, NAB implemented an end-to-end compliance solution – from transaction monitoring and investigation to filing and audit trails – in just four months
